New in town. I have some boating experience (including a summer working for a sportfishing guide in Alaska) and a long-term interest in cruising/liveaboard but no prior sailing experience. I'm in my mid-40s, in great shape, experienced outdoors, comfortable on the water, willing to commit to a crew, and excited to learn. Available as early as this evening (8/25).

I’m Will, 47, based in Vancouver, WA and available weekdays or weekends. I’ve logged years of cruising and race series experience on cats and 21–40 ft sailboats. Primarily looking for racing opportunities, but open to casual sails along the Columbia. Laid back yet competitive, I’m handy on board and know my knots.

Been sailing my whole life (28 years). Grew up on our family Catalina 25' and Hobie Cat/various dinghies. Started racing in 2014 on J boats, then raced at Michigan State University on 420s. Have done some multi-day/week cruising trips on a Freedom 30 and Catalina 36.
Very comfortable anywhere on a boat as well as single-handing on certain set-ups. I'm not really interested in racing anymore, but would love to connect with a cruiser who's looking for capable crew to go out and have fun - maybe enjoy some apps, a couple brews, and anchor off the beach. Day trips mostly, but also open to some excursions.

I sailed a few thousand miles singlehand on a contessa 26 from Anapolis Maryland to Key West Florida. I've never raced a sailboat, so I don't know the official rules or the positions but I can solo sail up to 35 foot boats in all sorts of weather. Looking to crew a bit and see what racing is like.

I have been sailing 37'-44' monohulls on Galveston Bay for the last 2 years, usually at least once a month. I've done both casual sails and regattas. I have ASA 101 and 118 certifications and have done focused skills sessions at least once a year. I recently crewed a 46' catamaran in the Mediterranean for 2 weeks.
Looking for crew opportunities during first half of August 2025 while I'm back in Portland for a bit.

I've worked on commercial fishing boats (purse seiners, eel boats, draggers)
I've also worked on 200' cargo ships for month long trips from Seattle to Dutch Harbor and St. Paul Island.
I know my knots, I know seamanship. Very safety oriented. Just new to sails.
Any questions, please ask.

I'm a 46-year-old high school teacher living in Portland.
I have my ASA 101 through 104. And I have done some extended coastal cruising. But it's been a few years.
I'm hoping to get out regularly crewing boats with the long-term goal of owning my own boat.
Let me know if I can come crew your boat. Thanks for considering!

I just graduated from Webb Institute this June. I studied Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. I got to sail on classic sailboats and cruise/race on several keelboats with NEKA sailing in New York with a variety of different crews. I am still relatively new to sailing because I only started over the past 4 years of college and mainly did so recreationally, but would like to continue to gain experience and become a part of the sailing community in Portland now that I am moving back home to work in the maritime industry. I have good engineering knowledge and generally have a good sense of the water and how to sail but am looking to learn more!

Started sailing in college on z420s and FJs before moving on to sailing mostly on a J/105 out of Lakewood Yacht Club as well as a J/100 in the LI Sound and Ensign in Austin. Willing to learn foredeck under a more experienced sailor and interested in sailing anything that gets me on the water!

Hi! I am 21 and am looking to crew on a boat (or boats) where I can be out on the water as much as possible!
I have experience racing Dinghies and Lasers and for the past 6 years have been sailing a Newport 30 regularly, trying out all the different positions and skills on board. While I have sailed quite a bit, I have only ever learned from people who are also beginners, so I do not know all the terminology needed to be an effective crew member.
I am hoping to learn as much as possible, meet cool people, and be a helpful and attentive crew member!
